Sometimes a client or colleague needs to send you large files. One common way to handle large files is to compress them into a ZIP package to make the file size more reasonable for transmission over email. WinRAR, a software tool for archiving and compressing files, can decompress, or 'unzip,' these files so that you can view them.

Click 'File' in the WinRAR menu, and then 'Open.' Select the ZIP file from the location you saved it on your computer.

Click the 'Extract To' button, and select a location on your PC where you'd like to store the unzipped files.

Click 'OK' to confirm the operation and view the status of the extraction process on screen. When the process is complete, the box disappears.

Tip

• You may also drag the ZIP file from your desktop or Windows Explorer and drop it onto the WinRAR icon on the desktop or into the open WinRAR window to open it.

The popular file archiving tool WinRAR has had a bug for at least 14 years that can be exploited to take over your PC.

The bug can pave the way for archive files that can trigger WinRAR to actually install whatever malware is secretly inside, according to the security firm Check Point, which discovered the software flaw.

'The exploit works by just extracting an archive, and puts over 500 million users at risk,' the company said in a detailed report published on Wednesday.

The issue deals with an old dynamic link library or DLL from 2005 that WinRAR used to process files that had been compressed in the ACE format. Normally, WinRAR should just unpack an ACE archive to the selected destination. However, Check Point discovered a bug with the DLL, which can cause the software to extract executable files to a Windows PC's Startup Folder.

That's problematic. If a malicious executive file ever gets into the Startup Folder, the machine will automatically run it the next time it boots up. Check Point has uploaded a video demonstrating the threat.

What makes the bug even more severe is how you can simply rename a malicious ACE archive into the more popular RAR file compression format, and the exploit will still work.

The developer of WinRAR has decided to patch the vulnerability by dropping support for the ACE format. 'UNACEV2.DLL had not been updated since 2005 and we do not have access to its source code. So we decided to drop ACE archive format support to protect security of WinRAR users,' RARLab said in a website posting.

Check Point researcher Omri Herscovic told PCMag the flaw has existed beyond 2005 to since the year 2000 when WinRAR added support for the ACE format. To stay safe, WinRAR users will have to download the latest version, 5.70 beta 1, which came out last month.

Check Point only discovered the bug by running WinRAR through 'fuzz' testing, or trying to generate crashes in the software by feeding it random data. But it's possible others may have stumbled on the bug as well. Check Point noted that at least one company that helps clients hack into devices has been paying as much as $100,000 for WinRAR-related software exploits.
